Even more nitpicking:
mkfifo testfifo
echo hello world > testfifo
... wait ...
cat testfifo
now echo has completed.
I know that internal buffers exist. I didn't say it wasn't.
I said writing does not complete before reading starts :-)
And that is IMO a pain to deal with as user.
For the reference: I didn't perform the above test with unix sockets
but I never experienced problems neither.
So far for the gory details :-)
I'm getting back to my mpd-to-mqtt gateway ...
